A week later

It has now been 9 days since our hell as began. Sometimes I think I am o.k. with it, but every time I go down to the house I just get more mad and mad. I think I am passed the point of crying, now I am MAD!!! We have had some new surprises come up along the way, but are learning to deal with it. We are trying to adjust to life living in a hotel (again, only fun when you are on vacation). These are some pictures of the house right after it happened. They really don't tell the true story about what happened and you can't see the water very well. I wish I could figure out how to upload the video from our video camera. Now that tells the true story.






Here is a picture of where it all began. You can see how the pipe just popped right off!



Yesterday we spent from 9:30 am down at the house until 6:30 last night. We first met with the plumber insurance. That did not go so well. The person who came out to take pictures told us that in his 44 years of doing this he had never came out this late. He had always been out the next day. He took pictures, but basically said since it has been 8 days and everything was pretty much dried out, it wasn't going to do any good. So now we have decided to get our insurance involved and they can go after the plumbers insurance.

We also had 2 different mold specialist come out. One Brandl hired and he didn't find anything. Go figure. Mike decided to have a third party come through and he thinks he found mold. He has to take it to the lab and test it for sure, but he seemed pretty certain it was mold.

So needless to say we are exhausted and and tired of dealing with this crap. I told Mike by the time we move in, I am not going to have any energy to unpack. My mom tells me I have my whole life to unpack, but I have everyday day stuff to still unpack!

Thank you to all of our family and friends for their support and love. We would not be able to make it through this without you!!!
